For this case the precision value was estimated to be ±10%. The sample was a stratified sample where the researcher divided the population into three stratums Njombe, Mufindi and Iringa urban. A stratified sampling is the modification of random sampling in which
Henceforth it is sometimes called “bottom-up” approach. In general this approach is related to the qualitative methods and data, based on which it establishes a new theory. Deductive approach Deductive approach is in opposition to the inductive approach, meaning there is an established theory at the beginning of the research, which is either confirmed
focus, the current thesis appeals to case-studies in the single case-study analysis. Case study method enables a researcher to closely examine the data within a specific context. In most cases, a case study method selects a small geographical area or a very limited number of individuals as the subjects of study. Case study method is widely recognised especially when in-depth explanations of a social behaviour is the purpose, as in the case of the current study. Large-n analysis shows that it is difficult
9.1. Research Epistemology The researcher should concerns what constitutes acceptable knowledge in a field of study (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill, 2012, P.136).In this research study is to evaluate the relationship between two market strategies base on existing theories and case study, therefore, the realism has been selected which assumes a scientific approach to the development of knowledge. Moreover, there is two type of realism, direct realism and critical realism, the latter one will be conducted
In Learner-Centered Assessment on College Campuses (Huba & Freed, 2000) show a strong connection between assessments, learning, and effective teaching. Here, the students: • Are properly associated and receive the feedback required • Use their experience in problems • Incorporate their experience and general skills • Recognise the importance of excellent work • Become sophisticated learners • Accept the provided guidance for improvement • Forward their opinions • Value descriptive feedback as an
distribution. Dapiran et al., (1996) and Milleneta (1996) done an exploratory study of 84 users of 3PL in Australia showed that cost is the most important selection factor of 3PL. Other important criteria were: services, personal knowledge of the contractor, coverage provided, previous experience and references, experience in project management and new systems’ implementation, and perceived competence. Stank and Maltz (1996) presented an exploratory review of factors that influence the decision to purchase

proposal. These two techniques are quantitative and qualitative analyses; it is important for the researcher to understand the difference between both techniques. Qualitative inquiry is primarily exploratory research. It is used to gain an understanding of the underlying ground , popular opinion, and motivations. It provides perceptivity into the problem or assist to develop a musical theme or hypotheses for potential quantitative research. Qualitative Research is also used to uncover trends in thought
